L TOWER – 8 The Esplanade

Date Registered (2005-07-27)

Standing as the pinnacle of downtown Toronto, the glassy exterior of the L Tower is one of Toronto’s most sophisticated and modern condo builds in recent years. The L Tower condos are located at 8 The Esplanade, just shy of the downtown Toronto core and steps away from the beautiful Lake Ontario waterfront. 

One of the most appealing aspects of these 591 condo units in the all-glass 57-storey high-rise is not only the condos’ prime location and updated features, but the warmth and open feel that these suites bring about. 

Throughout the 591 condo suites of the L Tower, future residents may choose between renting and purchasing a condo in a wide range of sizes and layouts. Condo sizes range from a modest bachelor at 411 square feet to a massive 11,449 square foot condo penthouse! Choose from a one-bedroom suite or spread out in a two and a half bedroom unit.

The L Tower condos are designed by Daniel Libeskind in a way that was meant to truly stand out from the standard condo designs. It also marked the shift of Toronto’s urban culture transitioning into a more modern look. 

Inside you can expect to find nine- to 10-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, exposed cement ceilings, stainless steel appliances, and, of course, large, bright, floor-to-ceiling windows.
